The Vincent Lingiari Memorial Lecture commemorates the Wave Hill Station walk-off led by Vincent Lingiari with his Gurindji people and other groups in August 1966 – a significant act by those involved as it was a catalyst for Aboriginal people, not only in the Northern Territory but across Australia, to have their rights to traditional lands recognised and for those lands to be returned.
We believe learning should not be limited in the classroom. Through the Professional Practice Program (PPP), we provide on-the-job placement opportunities for students enrolled in the Master of Accounting (Professional Practice) and Master of Business Administration (Professional Practice) to get training and experience in a real-life workplace environment. The PPP gives employers the opportunity to work with well-trained graduates and evaluate their suitability as a future employee. If the student is eventually employed, they are already up to speed with the provider’s workplace culture, targets and relationships.

Environment and Livelihoods (RIEL). Kaline currently supervises PhD and master's students working on wetland monitoring and management, and welcomes expressions of interest from those interested in applied, interdisciplinary research on freshwater ecosystems, land use change, and conservation
Charles Darwin University’s Dr Rakesh Gupta researches how global stock markets and economies are becoming more connected through analysis of factors like trade, education, and politics. His work shows that investment isn’t just about making money – it can help build fairer, more stable economies.
My research focuses on applying Earth observation satellites and unoccupied aerial vehicles for environmental and agricultural studies. I lead the Remote Sensing and Earth Observation research group. In this lab, we use LiDAR, SAR (synthetic aperture radar), optical remote sensing technologies, and AI for invasive plant detection and mapping, groundwater-dependent vegetation monitoring, habitat monitoring, vegetation clearing and fragmentation, and monitoring GHG emissions
Volunteers have shouldered the burden of shorebird conservation in the Top End for more than half a century, but new research from Charles Darwin University (CDU) suggests it’s time for the government to take responsibility for all of the Northern Territory’s residents – including those with wings.
Prof David Bowman (Director of the Fire Centre University of Tasmanaia) will reflect on the experience of running a complex codesigned ‘applied pyrogeographic’ research program, explaining how such multipronged research is critical for sustainable coexistence with wildfire.
